Cheers Shane. Been a long long road but getting there. Now to get back to the armour lol

Received GML clearance , just to wait for the admin stuff to get done and then request full access Then V2 lol

Had to redo pics as in somE of them the light made it looked browner. It’s an actual OG fabric not dyed. action shot time

Had word the V1 is okay to submit for approval. Now to wait

Armour fits a lot better. Can now get in it with the mpsb straps and buckles with loads of overlap at the side. So need to clean with degreaser and then sort out the picture hooks to secure the horn fronts , glue straps at back , then Velcro on the buckle and chest. Still a ways to go but getting there with the v2 once the above clears

Bit wary of submitting this as dont like how I look even with the weight off that I have so far but here goes. Still on the fence with the armour but just wanna clear the v1 at first.. anyway here goes , be kind lol

looks good to me with my limited knowledge

What makers are doing the gloves as when I checked vendor finders they are still out of stock

Happily ive lost the weight all over so jacket is gonna be fine. Trousers and pants will be finished shortly then its time for final fit and approval pics

soooooooo did ya? hehe

Managed to print out better stuff for the ones that needed sharpening up. Meeting with seamstress on Thursday this week to check fit of ( completed ) jacket and ( partially completed ) trousers to see where we stand on fitness following the so far 30lb weight loss . Hopefully the jacket will fit well enough to get cleared as otherwise it'd have to be totally redone and obvs id compensate them for whats been done and then sort stuff out or call it a day. I didnt know JT did stuff at the time so if this doesnt pan out ill speak to him. Just a bit of a disaster

Just watched the 2 eps with the tac team in and as black watch said they dont light up at all. You could say they need to be acrylic like say with the tie chest square things but then they could be painted plastic. If they dont light up , or the forearm torch then couldnt you make the painted a lvl 1 and the coloured acrylic a higher one? As for the battery , something the shape of the 9v covered in white tape but no need to have to actually connected then?

Thanks David

Been very slow progress although im now nearly 2 stone lighter than I was with much more to go. Finally got a new job which while part time is better than nothing and can get full time if I really need to. Been working in parts on the armour to fit me as the prongs were now way too long , will sort sides later , so have cut them down and reshaping. Saw on an ICAT post that someone had used picture hooks to use to secure the prongs into the chest so ill be stealing that idea. I've rough cut the vents out and they will be filed down properly. My issue is with the hose connectors. I cant see anywhere and certainly not on the crl to see if they are just fitted on or if the holes inside them when looking down vertically are drilled out or just left solid. Not fussed with way and I assume if its not mentioned then the GML wont be looking for it but id like to be sure
